México

México Lindo y Querido, Si Muero Lejos de Ti... is a famous ranchera. It is a song of nostalgia for home. Yesterday, the Assembly in Mexico City approved legislation providing for "sociedades de convivencia," a civil union of sorts. Although a sociedad de convivencia does not allow for adoption (yet), it is a step in the right direction in a dominantly Catholic nation. I applaud my legislators for balancing the public interest, the common interest and equality, in attempting to further equality and not bowing to the Catholic interests.
